Rapper T.I. said he wasn’t beat up as bad as the Internet suggested when he decided to go after Floyd Mayweather last weekend in Las Vegas.

Right — that Floyd Mayweather. Undefeated champ of multiple divisions, often called best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet, etc.

Like they say, if you’re going to go, you might as well go big.

T.I. reportedly approached Mayweather early Sunday outside a Fatburger restaurant and exchanged a few words before throwing a punch at the professional boxer, according to MSN.com.

T.I. must stand for “Totally Inebriated.”

Bodyguards intervened before Mayweather could take T.I.’s head off. Both men were gone by the time police showed up.

T.I. has since jumped on Instagram to show his normal-looking face in a video, during which he says, “What they say I got two black eye (sic)?”

His bodyguards definitely deserve a raise.

He didn’t really explain what caused the dust up, but did hold up a bandaged arm and said “(Expletive) my hand though, that’s about it.”

A big raise.

Mayweather told celebrity blogger Necole Bitchie (really, that’s her name) the dispute started over his friendship with T.I.’s wife, singer Tameka “Tiny” Cottle. He said he was eating when T.I, approached and “a riot kinda broke out.”

“He probably does some foolish things, but he ain’t no damn fool to swing on me,” Mayweather reportedly said. “Like, you must’ve forgot what I do for a living.”

Obviously.

He also said he wanted to apologize to Cottle for telling T.I. during the exchange to “control your (expletive).”

“I don’t want to say that about Tiny. So I do apologize to Tiny because she cool people. She never been disrespectful to me.”
